Located within the Central Business District of Cincinnati, Ohio, this penthouse loft is situated on the third floor of a historic multi-family building. It was a single level “white box” unit with a unique footprint of 25 ft wide by 120 ft in length. At each end of the long and narrow volume there are window/door openings which serve as the only sources for natural light. There is direct elevator access from a private parking garage for the homeowner while guests enter through a secured lobby.

这套阁楼位于俄亥俄州辛辛那提中央商业区内，位于一座历史悠久的多家庭建筑的三楼。它是一个单一的“白色盒子”单位，有一个独特的脚印宽25英尺宽120英尺长。在狭长体积的两端都有窗户/门的开口，它们是自然光的唯一来源。房主可以从私人停车场直接进入电梯，客人则通过安全的大厅进入。

The homeowner had two main objectives for this renovation project. The first was to create a modern authentic loft-like living environment that expressed an industrial yet refined aesthetic. The second objective was to maximize the use of daylighting to infiltrate the main living areas.

房主对这一翻修项目有两个主要目标。第一个是创造一个现代真实的阁楼般的生活环境，表达了一种工业的，但精致的美学。第二个目标是最大限度地利用采光来渗透主要的生活区。

The design strategy was established by exposing the existing brick demising wall. This wall reveals the buildings history, establishes the unit’s material pallet, and acts as a datum for which all spaces are organized. The wall captures the buildings history where roof lines and openings once existed. The textures and colors within this wall establish the material pallet. A smooth white finish is applied to cabinets, countertops and walls as a way to contrast the brick materiality. Dark grey is used as the stain color for large sliding doors, cement stucco fireplace and selective cabinetry to contrast the white and relate to the tar remnants found within the brick wall from ages past.

通过对现有砖砌体墙的暴露，确定了设计策略。这堵墙揭示了建筑的历史，建立了单位的材料托盘，并作为一个基准，为所有的空间组织。这堵墙记录了曾经存在屋顶线和洞口的建筑物历史。墙内的纹理和颜色构成了材料托盘。光滑的白色饰面适用于橱柜、台面和墙壁，以此来对比砖的物质性。深灰色被用作大型滑动门、水泥灰泥壁炉和选择性橱柜的染色颜色，用于对比白色，并与多年来在砖墙中发现的焦油残留物有关。

To allow daylighting to infuse the unit, the main living spaces (kitchen, dining and family room) were positioned adjacent to the largest exterior opening. The master suite and study were placed at the opposite end with floor to ceiling sliding doors to draw light into the core. The uniqueness of this project is also derived by embellishing the unit’s inherent long and narrow proportions. These proportions are most prevalent in the design of the linear fireplace, the dining island, the dynamic powder room floating panel, and light fixture selections.

为了让采光注入单元，主要的起居空间(厨房、餐厅和家庭室)位于最大的外部开口附近。主套间和书房放置在相对的一端，从地板到天花板的滑动门，以吸引光线进入核心。这个项目的独特性也是通过装饰单元固有的长而窄的比例来得出的。这些比例是最常见的设计线性壁炉，就餐岛，动态粉末室浮动面板，和灯具的选择。
